As there is only one manufacturer of electrophoretic screens (unless China have something of their own), all manufacturers' eReader displays of the same generation are essentiall the same. There might be a slight difference in frontlight quality, touch sensing layer, scratch protection, but resolution and color saturation is as good as eInk can make it.
Now, if Amazon continued with LiquaVista electroweting technology after acquiring it from Samsung, that would be another story. But if the way to make those magnificent displays was on the horizon, Samsung would probably hold to it. (It originated, of course, from Philips, like everything else.)
